Banoffee pie consists of bananas, cream and toffee combined in a butter pasty or biscuit base. Some banoffee pie recipes also include coffee and/or chocolate as ingredients.

How to make mini Banoffee pies

Step 1

Sift the flour and salt into a large mixing bowl. Add the vegetable fat and butter and rub in with your fingertips until the mixture looks like fine crumbs. Stir in just enough chilled water to make a soft, but not sticky dough. Knead for a few moments until smooth, then wrap and chill for 10-15 minutes.

TOP TIP

To save time, you could always buy ready-made pastry tarts.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan oven 180°C/Gas Mark 6.

Step 3

Roll out the pastry thinly on a lightly floured surface and use a 7.5cm cutter to stamp out 16 rounds, re-rolling the pastry as necessary. Use to line 16 patty tins. Prick the bases with a fork, line with scrunched-up foil, then bake for 10-15 minutes.

Step 4

Meanwhile, put the Lyle’s Golden Syrup into a saucepan with the Tate & Lyle Light Brown Soft Sugar and butter. Heat gently until melted and smooth, then boil steadily for 1 minute. Cool slightly.

Step 5

Spoon the toffee filling into the cooked pastry tarts and leave until cold.

Step 6

Shortly before serving, slice the bananas and arrange them on the toffee filling. Whip the cream in a chilled bowl and pipe or spoon some onto each tart. Serve, sprinkled with a little extra Tate & Lyle Light Brown Soft Sugar.

TOP TIP

Why not cover your mini pies in chocolate shavings for added effect? All you’ll need is a block of your favourite chocolate and a cheese grater or potato peeler. Remember, this mini banoffee pie recipe can be doubled, tripled or even quadrupled, should you need to cater for more people.

Sorry, we couldn't wait...

Mille-Feuille might be the prettiest dessert going, but just like a sunset, their beauty is gone before you know it!

(Especially if we're around... absolutely delicious.)

Up close and personal with a custard slice...

We could just fancy being tucked in under that crispy puff pastry sheet! 
When's the last time you had one of these? 

Recipe coming next week...
We knew it was going to be a showstopper, but this might be bordering on an eye-popper!

A picture-perfect cake tower, this delicate and airy sponge is bursting with summer's juiciest berries and scattered with crystallized rose petals...

In other words, it's a big shindig-only bake, so don't go hiding it away! It deserves to be seen! Recipe in bio.
Wow @georgiahearn__ knows what people like... chocolate and pudding! 

Made with @tateandlylesugars and @lylesgoldensyrup, this looks like a little bowl of happiness to us.
We know you're already sweet enough, but a bit of Tate & Lyle Sweetener wouldn't go amiss on #NationalTeaDay! 

300 servings in one easily storable dispenser, it's an aspartame-free, low-calorie treat. 

Which manages to taste just as sweet!
A whole day dedicated to one TEA!

Yes it's here, National Tea Day and the ideal time to share one of our favourite shortbread recipes using fragrant Earl Grey tea. 

Here's how to make Earl Grey & Lemon Shortbread:

Prep Time – 30 mins (4 hours to chill)
Yield – 12 – 16 (dependant on the size of your cutters)

Ingredients 

Biscuits
50g Tate & Lyle Fair Trade – Pure Cane Icing sugar
250g unsalted butter
2 tbsp of Earl Grey Tea
220g plain flour
Pinch of salt

Icing
A squeeze of lemon
100g Tate & Lyle Fair Trade – Pure Cane Icing sugar

Instructions

Combine your tea leaves and butter, leaving overnight preferably to infuse. You can cover in a bowl and leave to the side as this mix shouldn’t be chilled.
Add your butter mix to a bowl your sugar and combine, then add the flour salt until a dough forms
Roll out your dough mix until even – about half an inch thick and cut with your biscuit cutter.
Pop onto a baking sheet and into a preheated oven at 180°C/ 160°C fan/ gas mark 4/ 350°F and bake for 15 mins. Keep and eye on them as they can burn quickly.
Whilst they cool make your icing and then drizzle generously once the biscuits are completely cold.
If Dark Muscovado's a little too strong for you, this bag might just be your baking's saviour!

With enough molasses to keep things moist and sticky, our Light Muscovado boasts a buttery, caramel flavour with fewer hints of treacle.

A subtle change that always makes bakes better...

It might sound odd... but anyone who's had this slightly sour dairy knows it doesn't taste like butter!

Just squeeze a bit of lemon juice in your standard whole or semi-skimmed if you're ever in need.
